Here's PartyBen's mashup from last week's Sixx Mixx.

I enjoy these like most people enjoy going to see a comedian; they make me laugh. The mixes, the samples, the (sometimes dog awful) pitch and tempo change.

Watching Discovery WINGS yesterday, they had a thing on the development of the jet engine. Me and Ar's room mate were talking about jet propulsion and space travel. I told him I thought the concept behind a SCRAMJet was cool: using the force of incoming air to increase propulsion. However, he pointed out humans have to figure out a new way to power an object without the use of fuels, otherwise we're never leaving this galaxy.

Off the top of my 3-glasses-deep-into-a-bottle-of-Ravenswood-Zin head, I said "Why not borrow from the MagLev train concept and use the variety of magnetic force to pull and push one across the galaxy. Perhaps one can magnetize a space ship with magnets and we'd just have to figure out a way to enhance the current exponentialy so we could push/pull a ship where it's needed, sort of like a MagLev floating on train tracks. Hell, it's cold enough in space for super-conductivity to be useful.

Amuse me, is there any possibility that planet and galaxy magnetic fields can be harnessed to produced some sort of motion energy? Maybe these magnetic forces make a sound at 1,000,000,000,000 gHz and maybe there'll be something in the sound to tap into.

Hell, it could also recharge one's generator if one could convert it into useful energy. We could use that here on earth...or maybe not...might fuck up the earth's orbital pattern.
